Cert in Computer and Information Sciences, General

The Computer Science certificate is designed to strengthen the job prospects of students from any Ferris program. Computing skills rank among the abilities employers look for most, and the certificate can deepen a student's main field or prepare them for entry-level computing roles. Courses include programming and problem solving, object-oriented programming, and data structures and algorithms. Together they give students a working base in writing and organizing software. Students pursuing the applied math and computer science BS cannot add this certificate. Required credits can shift with placement and prerequisites, so students should confirm details with an advisor. The certificate is coordinated through the Mathematics department, and it can be earned alongside a wide range of bachelor's degrees at the university.
